Your post was a gift to me today, to remind myself to open my heart to my daughter for whom I have put up walls to protect myself from some future fear of being hurt. I'm slowly learning how this has harmed me and her. When I let myself, I know that she is one of my best teachers and instead of "powering through" everything about her, I need to continue to lead with my heart instead. Goodness knows, we would both benefit. Just open my heart. Just love.
Thank you so much for posting this again. I wasn't following your Substack when it first appeared, so this is my first time seeing it. What a beautiful reflection and invitation about sharing our own griefs.
